An iPhone case that prevents bending?

Here's my idea for an iPhone case that prevents bending: Get a case like the one shown that takes cards, and put in a piece of steel, or if you're worried about the weight, titanium. My thinking is that should make the case rigid enough to prevent bending. Thoughts?

I think a case should be able to bend a bit , so in case of fall it will absorb some of the impact .

  • Good iphone 6 cases to prevent bending?

    Has anyone has success with any brand (and what type) of cases that prevent the phone from flexing?   I enjoy the phones sleekness but as I have the 6 and after 2 days of casual wear of being in my pocket there is already a noticeable bend from upper left (volume buttons) to the lower right.

    I was looking for the exact same thing. I got the CM4 Wallet Case and absotulety love it.

  • I do not what tech. is lacking in iphone 4 that prevents it to be able to support turn by turn navi. I do not see any difference btw 4 and 4s and yet 4S can support turn by turn. very disappointed with apple and i will not purchase iphone5.

    I do not know what tech. s lacking in iphone 4 that prevents it to be able to use turn by turn navi. I do not see any difference between 4 vs 4S and yet 4S is able to support it. I am very disappointed with apple as i was when 4S was released. I will not purchase iphone5 becuase i think its nowhere near what apple calls it "perfect". there are plenty of other phone around. Lumia 920 for example is a much better phone. Just disappointed with apple...

    the fine print in the map section states that turn by turn is only available for 4S and up.

  • Slim iPhone Case that Closes Like a Book?

    I apologize if this has been addressed, but it is extremely difficult to search on "cases." I will be purchasing an iPhone for my wife when our Verizon plan runs out soon. She will want to carry it in her purse, so we worry about the glass, of course. Are there any nice, slim leather cases that open like a book, with the front cover folding around to the back so that she can hold it easily while using it as a phone? Thanks!

  • Iphone Case that supports Lanyard?

    Is there a Case that you can attach to a lanyard?
    Ive seen some cases that has this feature but damages the phone due to lack of protection on inside/outside. I like having my phone attached to my lanyard so much appreciation for the help.
    (:

    i use shield zone protection skins on all my apple products...... that keeps any and all scratches away...guaranteed... then to protect my products from getting dents, or cracks .from me being clumsy....on my iphone i have a rubber incase.....
    the reason some cases cause more scratches then if you went without is becasue there is a slight movement going on..and if you have one small grain of anything.... inside your case..... now it becomes like sandpaper.....
    there is a product out there that helps remove scratches from ipods...i dont know if they've come up with anything for the iphone ....... but its called "apple sauce" and its a 2 step polishing kit.....it did remove some scratches in the chrome on my ipod..... but be carefull around any ingraving you may have....
    i do love shield zone products though..... i even have it on my MBP......

  • Is there an iphone case that locks the device inside?

    I am looking for a case that requires a key or special tool to remove the phone from the case.

    I have seen locking cases for Garmin GPS units from Ram Mounts. They might have something for iPhones.

  • Can i exchange my iphone case that i bought in the apple store because its broken?

    i think the title includes everything important...

    Only the carrier (not Apple) can initiate the unlocking process.  In the US, AT&T has not and will not unlock the iPhone for anyone for any reason. 
    If your network provider cannot or will not unlock your phone, then you phone cannot be unlocked.  If you need an unlocked phone, sell yours and buy a factory unlocked phone.

  • For iPhone Case Lovers and their concern of Magnet Closers!!

    I recently learned that some have had issues with their iPhone when used with a cases that includes magnets for closing. Sorry mwhitted for your woes.
    While looking for a nice case for myself I became concerned of this, and decide to contact Sena about their Dockable iPhone case. This case seemed to be exactly what I was looking for, but after reading mWhitted and a few others problems I wasn't sure.
    So I sent them a e-mail with the links and question their knowledge about their product.
    This was late last night (about 1:39 am). How about 10:09 in the a.m. I get a response! A Long and thoroughly explained response (read Below).
    Great customer service! I am going to give this company a try and see how well this works.
    I have included my original e-mail to them and their response by Ronda so that you may judge for yourself.
    PS. mWhitted, aparently the case you used may not have had the proper magnets and maybe not assembled appropriately for this phone which may have caused the problem. What do you think, maybe this may have been the cause?
    Thanks for the info by the way.
    Below is my email to them.

    Subject: Pre-Order Dockable iPhone case
    I have looked up many cases for my iPhone and I have found your Dockable one to be just the style and function I am looking for. Although recently there has been a buzz going around that the magnetic closing cases such as these have caused many iPhones to malfunction.
    I was curious as to if you had any information on this? I also wanted to send you this so that you may look into this to avoid any potential problems with your sales.
    Another question, I would like to know if it would be possible to replace the magnets in this case and apply velcro to it instead as an option for your customers?
    As far as the info that I had on the magnets, you can read tease threads from apple support forums for reference.

    Update for Case #1086 - "Pre-Order Dockable iPhone case"
    We use only non Neodymium magnets that do not interfere with the device. We have done extensive testing with many devices to assure that the magnet use will not harm the internal applications or antenna on the devices which we manufacture cases for. Also we have long created cases for use with the IPOD nano, Ipod 3rd,4th and Ipod Video devices using the non Neodymium magnets in our cases without any interferance at all after selling thousands upon thousands of cases. Sena Cases are designed by Engineers with PhD, they are all handcrafted by skilled craftsmen who have been in the leather industry for many years making them expert leather craftsmen, our cases are not just designed by a purse maker or a designer who is thinking of only fashion and style, because of the engineering focus of the design staff they are detail oriented making sure that each and every feature and function of the device has been addressed and is accessible as well as taking wevery precaution to protect the devices and information which belongs to our loyal customers, and new customers as we hope that each person who finds their way to Sena Cases will become loyal to our products for all devices which they own now and in the future. Because our company's entire focus is PDA, Smartphone and Computer cases Sena Management and Design staff have extensively researched magnets available in the industry and magnetic substrates, with a solid plan to avoid any magnet which would harm any device we have created a case for, So the selection of the magnets available and the possible strengths that we can use are focused on a very limited type and size of magnet, sometimes even shape takes some precidence in the design of certain cases, in regards to the iPhone magnets the staff have created a new installation making the magnet undetectable on the open face of the case so that the form and shape are very sleek and suitable to the high style devbice which is in the Sena Case. Some case makers off shore may just throw a case together without considering future ramifications, These case manufacturers may be selling cases at a lower price point not created out of fine materials or more novelty type accessory cases that are often offered at a bargain price that is unbelievably inexpensive, They may be thinking when creating their own design that " this company and that company use magnets we will to..." this may be how cases get created for devices which may harm the device that they were intended to protect. Sena Cases has taken every precaution to design a slim sleek sexy iphone case that will protect your device in a very stylish fashion throughout the years that you own this expensive device.
    I will pass your forum links on to our design staff and the research group as well as our company president for review, Customer feedback is highly valued here at Sena Cases. I assure you that serious research has been done to assure that your iPHONE case will fit precisely allow access to all features and functions and to protect your investment in the device and the information which it contains as you as well as your referrals and your future business is our main focus and if we dint sweat all the little details to attempt to create you a perfect case for your device we could not expect your loyalty to our brand.
    We do also stand behind all our products with a one year warranty against any manufacturing defects. The best compliment we can receive is for a customer to refer family, friends, colleagues and strangers that they cross paths with to our cases as your refferral of our product is more valuable to us that a full page color ad in a major magazine, if your happy you will refer many people to our products who will refer their friends and so on and so on....
    Stephan, I reccomend that you avoid Neodymium magnets in what ever case you elect to purchase and you will be fine, I am hopefull that you will elect to protect your iPhone in our cases, as we make a fine product as does many competitors in the market, I am not familiar with their designs for this device so I cannot speak openly about any of them, but the iPHONE cases in our office on display as well as future designer cases to be released before the fall are all incredible. Sena Will have some leathers and designs nwever seen before by similar type device owners ever in the past, as our company has searched out new Leather vendors as well as creating our traditional line of stylish Sena cases will be releasing a designer series of cases for iPHONE because the device is phenomonal the design staff and management felt that the cases could also help carry off the devices style in a ddifferent intrepretation.
    You will love any of the Sena Cases designs which are available now or in the future., We have had customers stop by and try on the prototype cases which we have photographed and were in love with the look and fit. The sensor on the face of the case has been revised the original case designed before the device was available to accommodate the proximity/light sensors! The sensor lies above the ear piece at the top of the screen. so there will be two circular oval type openings above the screen. These cases are really off the hook, crazy cool and distinctively beautiful, I am hopeful you will enjoy owning one to protect your device.

    OK. Here it is...

    "Neodymium magnets are very strong in comparison to their mass..."
    A.K.A. "rare-earth magnetS".
    "While most solid state electronic devices are not effected by magnetic fields, some medical devices are not manufactured to mitigate the effects of strong magnetic fields." Maybe phones too?

  • IPhone Case With Wrist Strap?

    Now that the iPhone 4 is a serious HD camcorder, and a much better stills camera, the need for a wrist strap is even greater. Products like the Flip Mino come with an integrated wrist strap hook, a little hole in the side of the device that allows you to thread a wrist strap through. But the iPhone 4 doesn't.
    So my question is, does anyone know of any cases that have an integrated wrist strap hook? Failing that, are there any iPhone cases that have a fixed (non-removable) wrist strap?

    Until my phone was stolen last night I had this exact Belkin Ergo:
    http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=512055
    And I really liked it.  The case was low profile enough to fit in the pocket of my jeans or purse, the strap was sturdy and springy (I tied a knot in it to make the loop smaller) and I was definitely using the **** out of it.  The back of the phone is contoured with ridges which looks more helpful for shoulder cradling than it really is, but it does reduce slippage.
    I recommend this product!  I am buying a second one now, and am grateful you helped me refind the link without having to go through all my receipts.
    The Interim below looks very nerve-wracking in terms of where the cable is attached.

  • Case that will prevent scratches on the back?

    Hi--
    I was wondering if anyone has advice as to which cases--readily available at the Apple Store, Best Buy, etc.--do a good job of preventing scratches on the back of the iPod Touch 2G. I know that silicon cases will scratch it up, so I'm staying away from those. Are there any hard cases that will work from your experiences? I've ordered a skin from BestSkinsEver, which is like the InvisibleShield, but am looking for something that will work in the meantime, until that arrives. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I've run into the exact same concern - already suffered some scratching on the back of my 32GB Touch 2G (insert very frowned face here).
    BestBuy, Staples, WalMart, and the Apple Store were very picked over - post Christmas rush I'm assuming, so my choices were very slim. I haven't picked one up yet, but a friend of mine was just over with his iPhone and had a nice hard case that covered only the back of his phone. It was a solid fit and didn't add too much bulk.
    I ordered a ZAGG full body skin but still waiting for delivery.

  • I have an iPhone 4S that is a replacement of a defective 4s and it shows over 3Gb of data backed up in the cloud from my old 4s. How can I find out what is in this backup? It is preventing me from backing up my new 4s to the cloud due to the amt of data.

    I have an iPhone 4S that is a replacement of a defective 4s. When I activated the newer phone, I believe I transferred over everything except pictures (had multiple failures trying to backup and restore). Now the phone shows over 3Gb of data backed up in the cloud from my old 4s. How can I find out what is in this backup? It is preventing me from backing up my new 4s to the cloud due to the amt of data. It may be duplicated info that I don't need or I may want to archive the backup or parts of it like pictures.

    You can not access the backup directly.
    Did you restore your replacement from this backup?
    If so then you already have everything in the backup on your device.
    If not, you can wipe the device and restore from this backup:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
    What is it you are worried about losing that isn't already on your current device?

  • I Was Told About an iPhone 4s Case that Really...

    In an Apple Forum I posted about a protective but not limiting case since I have trouble with dropping, hitting, etc. expensive things like large phones. Someone told me about a case, said he was thinking about getting one, did not sound too excieted about it, but I saw it at Best Buy and after looking for a year for a practical, case I could tell that this one was going to do what I needed in a case.  In this group of cases one really stood out but if it helps there was one that was like a holster.  I have got a major problem when I am carrying something like an expensive phone, laptop, etc. I drop them (my first MBP, it had to go back to Apple because I cracked the display costing me an additional $1000 just from jitting it by accident against the wall)  I wish I could remember the name of this case.  I came here hoping someone would say it because I was so excieted when I saw it, like I said after looking for a year, I could tell that this one was going to help me out a lot save the phone from being ruined after the first week. Yea Otter is OK but it seems like it would collect more dirt than anything else, this one just really felt to me that it would allow me to not have the iphone destroyed in a month.
    It was not fancy, but so practical.  Anyway, I will see if someone says the name of it.
    I am looking to get a new iPhone 4S (guess why?) and my contract at Verizon was up a year ago. I see that ATT advertises that only AT&T's Network let's your iPhone 4S download 3 times faster?  Is this true?
    A friend of mine sent me some emails from his iPhone 4S and his email adress was his phone number.  Is this an app or does the iPhone 4S allow you to send emails and get your emails without an additional app?
    Still not sure what carrier is the best.  I know I sound like I am all set but then I hear from someone and they make a good point.
    Any idea if the next iPhone will be 4G?
    thanks, I am just looking for some assist. in the areas I just have no idea on like what plan.  How does one decide what plan. Is the mobile hot spot one can make the iPhone 4S due allow one to surf on their MBP while on a car trip or do you need another type of MIFI by Novetel for that?

    Which lifeproof case did you get?  Does it look pro along with being super durable? I need one that I can take into meetings and leave it out on the desk along with it being super durable like the ones on Ballistic Case Co.com.
    Do you have invisibleshield or can't you use that with your case?  some of the durable cases have their own cover so they do not allow the invisible shield to be used.
    Do you have a clip for your pants or to clip the case somewhere else?
    I think why they don't get better ratings is not because they are super durable and take care of the iPhone  but because they are not the best looking case out there including ones like some on the Ballistic Case Co.com website.  I have heard people say that they look cheap, like a cheap plastic.  I actualy started this post awhile back and I forgot the name but one night it came to me.  I am still looking  for a case that has the durability like LifeProof but a tad better looking and more professional.  Hard to explain if you don't see that but that is why I have not purchased one yet is because I need a case like LifeProof but more professional looking lie the ones at BallisticCaseCo.com.  Speck makes a good looking, classy durable iPhone 5 case too.  I think it is Speck.

  • I need a case that fits with iPhone 4 and bumper

    Does anyone know of any cheaper cases that fit on a iPhone 4 that is fitted with a bumper case?

    One I found is made by Manhattan Portage, same name for website using one name, and costs about $25...made to use vertically on a sholder bag but works well on a belt horizontally.  Zips around one end.

    I really want to find a good, strong case that will protect my phone from cracking. However, I want the gold to still be visible even with the case on. Does anyone know of any cases that meet this criteria?

    I got this one http://www.bodyglovemobile.com/cell-phone-cases/apple/iphone-5s/mysuit/.  I like it a lot - my only complaint is that you can't use the lightning adapter with the case on.
